Matteo 28
1 ORA, finita la settimana, quando il primo [giorno] della settimana cominciava a schiarire, Maria Maddalena, e l'altra Maria, vennero a vedere il sepolcro.
Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.
2 Ed ecco, si fece un gran tremoto, perciocchè un angelo del Signore, sceso dal cielo, venne, e rotolò la pietra dall'apertura [del sepolcro], e si pose a seder sopra essa.
And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.
3 E il suo aspetto era come un folgore, e il suo vestimento [era] bianco come neve.
His form was shining like the light, and his clothing was white as snow:
4 E per timor d'esso, le guardie tremarono, e divennero come morti.
And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.
5 Ma l'angelo fece motto alle donne, e disse loro: Voi, non temiate; perciocchè io so che cercate Gesù, il quale è stato crocifisso.
And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.
6 Egli non è qui, perciocchè egli è risuscitato, come egli avea detto; venite, vedete il luogo dove il Signore giaceva.
He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.
7 E andate prestamente, e dite a' suoi discepoli ch'egli è risuscitato dai morti; ed ecco, egli va innanzi a voi in Galilea; quivi lo vedrete; ecco, io ve [l]'ho detto.
And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.
8 Esse adunque uscirono prestamente del monumento, con ispavento, ed allegrezza grande; e corsero a rapportar [la cosa] a' discepoli di esso.
And they went away quickly, with fear and great joy, to give his disciples the news.
9 Ed ecco, Gesù venne loro incontro, dicendo: Ben vi sia. Ed esse, accostatesi gli presero i piedi, e l'adorarono.
And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.
10 Allora Gesù disse loro: Non temiate; andate, rapportate a' miei fratelli, che vadano in Galilea, e che quivi mi vedranno.
Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.
11 E MENTRE esse andavano, ecco, alcuni della guardia vennero nella città, e rapportarono a' principali sacerdoti tutte le cose ch'erano avvenute.
Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.
12 Ed essi, raunatisi con gli anziani, presero consiglio di dar buona somma di danari a' soldati,
And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,
13 dicendo: Dite: I suoi discepoli son venuti di notte, e l'han rubato, mentre noi dormivamo.
Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.
14 E se pur questo viene alle orecchie del governatore, noi l'appagheremo con parole, e vi metteremo fuor di pena.
And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.
15 Ed essi, presi i danari, fecero come erano stati ammaestrati; e quel dire è stato divolgato fra i Giudei, infino al dì d'oggi.
So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time.
16 MA gli undici discepoli andarono in Galilea, nel monte ove Gesù avea loro ordinato.
But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had given them orders to go.
17 E vedutolo, l'adorarono; ma pure alcuni dubitarono.
And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.
18 E Gesù, accostatosi, parlò loro, dicendo: Ogni podestà mi è data in cielo, ed in terra.
And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.
19 Andate adunque, ed ammaestrate tutti i popoli; battezzandoli nel nome del Padre, e del Figliuolo, e dello Spirito Santo;
Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:
